Sunflowers in the Sky

let me make you a blanket of hopethe color of sunflowers in a summer fieldas warm as sunshine, as soft as grassevery stitch labored with gentle handsto hug you on a cold winter dayto lift you up, envelop you in lovekeep it close to your heartto carry you forth into your dreamsawakening to a better tomorrow

My dear friends, I hope you're enjoying the last few weeks of summer. On a weekend drive, I came across this beautiful field of sunflowers. Of course, I had to stop and take pictures! The sunflowers were so tall they looked like they could touch the sky.

I've been busy making blankets for charity for orphaned children. Here is a close-up picture of my crochet work in progress. The sunflower field inspired the colors ~ yellow and orange as petals and sunshine, green as grass, blue as the sky ~ I hope it will bring them comfort and warmth. My poem was inspired by it all.

sunflowers are awesome...i dont know if a bird dropped a seed, but we had one grow out of a bush this summer...it was a cool treat...i hope that it comes back next year....we need those blankets of hope as well...to keep us...warm..smiles.

A few years back I drove by myself from Michigan's upper peninsula to Texas--- I was picking up a goat I'd purchased--- and driving through Kansas I was impressed by all the sunflowers. It was a good year for sunflowers, I heard later.

I love how your words are enhanced by your photos. A field of sunflowers definitely seems a blanket of hope. Who cannot feel good when observing their beauty! Who cannot feel that, as they face the sun, they promise a 'better tomorrow.'

So much beauty! The field of sunflowers, the glorious poem/prayer/wish, the beauty of your blanket and its destination: to warm and comfort an orphaned child. It is a feast in here this morning, Loredana! Thank you for the sunshine!
